The Intuitivum Approach

For most organizations, this is the right place to start. Low hanging fruit in this area will always deliver quick hits and show that the procurement organization understands how to add value to the bottom line.

Strategic Sourcing is an organized and collaborative approach to leverage spend across commodities with select suppliers that are best suited to meet the organization’s needs. Strategies must be aligned with the company’s goals and across all business units. An effective sourcing strategy optimizes quality, technology, cycle time, delivery, reliability, performance, profitability and price.

As in other areas, the Intuitivum Group has management systems standards that set minimum expectations as to how strategies are developed and what they should include. These documents are also used as a basis for supporting client organizations when they develop standardized practices for their own organizations. At the top level, these documents include significant coverage of:

Contract Implementation – ensures that the contract owner implements the contract effectively, including appropriate communication of the contract terms and requirements with Key Stakeholders and other appropriate personnel who are responsible for administering the contract requirements.

Contract Management – ensures that safekeeping, tracking, and monitoring of original contract documents are in accordance with company requirements.
